So basically, can you poison the data that we're using to train the AIs such that
to your point, I've altered the behavior of your AIs in a way that you don't know about, and that's going to have cascading effects across your whole military operation.
And then the second one is basically, if you're able to do the whole operation quickly enough, you basically hack in
and you, kind of as we were talking about before, you would destroy the traces.
You destroyed any sort of trace that you had hacked in, and you have an agent that hacked in, removed that trace and the evidence of you hacking in before it was alerted or notified.
That's maybe a bit more extreme, but definitely the data poisoning stuff is more concerning in the near term.
So how would you...
Well, the issue is we're still going to rely on it for lots of things.
Yeah, so to your point, strategic surprise becomes the name of the game very quickly.
And how do you create an operation such that you maximize the amount of strategic surprise against an adversarial AI?
And then honestly, the second thing that's really critical is a lot of this will just plain up boil down to, like straight up boil down to how...
many copies you have running and how large your data centers are and how much industrial capacity you have to run these AIs, both centrally and at the edge in all the theaters and in every environment.
Yeah, this is, this is a great question.
So the first time it sees a totally new, let's say a USV or UUV or whatever it might be that it's never seen before, it won't be able to predict what's going to happen.
Because it won't know...
